„We were played!” Coach Slye Liikka face despondent saying.
In the changing room of Lithuanian team, atmosphere also very strange, the members of each Lithuanian team have with Coach Slye Liikka the same feeling, that was „we are played”.
Before the game, the Lithuanian team believes that Zhang Guan is pure breakthrough, however in competition, when the Lithuanian team prepares to widen the score disparity, opened the crown actually to start a minute of ball. Although this is only the most common breakthrough divides the ball, but Zhang Guan the speed adds on the shooting stability of Dayao, actually became one big kills. Zhang Guan the speed is fast enough, the Lithuanian team is unable to prevent Zhang Guan the breakthrough, but shooting of Dayao also enough stabilizes, 2.26 meters height, wanted to prevent him to shoot is really too difficult.
The Lithuanian team has the person to assist Dayao, when the inside connection players of Lithuanian team stop Zhang Guan the breakthrough, can assist Dayao, only then the guard of Lithuanian team, at most is two meters over small forward, the small fellow defends has grabbed the ball Dayao, this was equal to that a dislocation attack, 20 to 30 cms disparity, was equal to Dayao lifts the hand, whether or not must shoot, defends the player to quickly jump, this defense is equal to all depending on betting the luck.
Finally ended to the first half from the second inter-stage, Dayao 9 throw in the seven, this also includes two three-pointers and two additional in addition punishes, vacancy shooting or welcomed a height only to be able the chest „small fellow” shooting, in the short 78 minutes, a Dayao person has brushed 21 points, in addition the first score, Dayao obtained 26 points in the first half.
The first half competition, China by 45 : 43, leads the Lithuanian team 2 points.
The erroneous judgement of Lithuanian team's to opening crown, creates is very smooth, however Chinese that China has attacked in the first half hits is unable to resist the attack of Lithuanian team. The Lithuanian team after all is the European topest team, under the European Son of Heaven Gias Hughes's leadership, Xisikaosikasi and Kreysa continued them to display splendidly, Kreysa this player who played a ball game in the Denver Nuggets, the level indeed compared with the frontal line players of China many, moreover his enough strong, the splendid personal ability has resulted in very tremendous pressure to China.
Generally speaking, the first half both sides hit has to have, but this type has to have is the Lithuanian team is unable to accept obviously. The goal of Lithuanian team is to enter the finals, they even hope that can defeat the US team dream team in the finals, but the present Lithuanian team half-court instead falls behind the Chinese 2 points, do they defeat the dream team with what?
„We had been played by China, but I do not think the anger, I somewhat am even gratified. You know why this is?” Coach Slye Liikka the voice, then said: „Because the head coach of opposite party is Junasz, is my teacher. Junasz most understands our people, if he does not retain 12 cards in a hand, I will think on the contrary inconceivable.”
Slye Liikka appears very calm, his calm and calm also gave Lithuania the members of team to be reassured.
Sees only Coach Slye Liikka then saying: „Zhang Guan understood unexpectedly the breakthrough is divided the ball, coordination between he and Dayao is also very skilled, this indeed stems from my anticipation, therefore in the second half, we not only need limit Zhang Guan the breakthrough, must limit Dayao. We need more giants to be in the field, moreover is a more flexible giant.”
Slye Liikka was saying, looks to nearby two long exactly the same young people, opens the mouth saying: „Daliusi, Kersey Khvostov, in the second half competition, I need your vigor! I want you to bring the vigor to our defense.”
Players this time of US team also arrived in the Wukesong stadium, they are going in next to confront the Spanish Men's basketball team.
„Hey, I just obtained news, first half, the Chinese 2 points lead the Lithuanian team!” Howard pulls the big mouth to say.
„? China unexpectedly half-court leads the Lithuanian team, may not think really! I think that China faces Lithuania, meets loses the competition that does not resist!” Wade said with a smile.
„It is said was Dayao erupted, he obtained 26 points in the first half.” Howard was saying deeply inspires, somewhat childish then said: „The condition in Dayao is really irritable, if we at the finals facing China, I could be hit to explode!”
„Ha, has not related, we have Carlos!” Tokutaka has referred to nearby Buzeer, then said: „Copes with the words of Dayao, Carlos most had the experience!”
Half-court leads the Lithuanian team 2 points, this is the audiences has not expected obviously, therefore the time of half time, became the audiences has celebrated the revelry the time, in auditorium even spontaneous start match song congress, this was in other competitions has not presented absolutely the matter.
But the players of national sports team are also the morale surge upward, the people did not have many confidence of win, however the present score made the players see the hope of victory. The players are thinking hits to be better as far as possible, do not disappoint the fan of home game, now actually discovered that originally the Lithuanian team has not imagined is so strong, originally China may the win.
Transformation on mentality is very important. Every so often some obscure players erupt suddenly, then suddenly becomes the star player, is not because his strength enhances suddenly, because he had the change in the mentality, when a player had a heart of powerhouse, naturally also became a powerhouse, this situation will frequently also occur in other sports.
But present national sports team players were many such a change, they had a heart of striving for victory.
When the second half, works as a crown mounts the athletic field, had discovered the Lithuanian team sent two longer much player.
„This should be Brother Lavrinovich!” Zhang Guan thinking silently.
The Lithuanian team has pair of twin brothers, the elder brother's name is Daliusi Lavrinovich, the younger brother's to name be Christopher Lavrinovich. The appearances of two people are exactly the same, elder brother Daliusi 2 meters in height 12, wear to fight the clothes on the 7 th, the position is a center, can hit the power forward. But younger brother Christopher 2 meters in height 09, wear to fight the clothes on the 12 th, the position is a power forward, can play the center.
In the basketball court, the twin brothers simultaneously enter the stage are very easy to make the match confuse, each player has the different technical special characteristics, has the different merits and weakness, impossible each people comprehensive like James or Kobe. Therefore during the attack and defense of professional basketball, in view of the matter that the weakness of match must handle. Person who if admits mistakes, attack defends, does not make into aims, will fall into to the quite passive aspect.
The basketball is different from the soccer, soccer location is big enough, through the position can confirm that the status of player, in the soccer sports a vanguard is impossible to rush to the position of guard to come up, but the cage game dislocation defense is actually very common, therefore confirms the fundamental mode of player status through the appearance.
Two long exactly the same players appear in the athletic field, is one type the tactic of confusing the match, if pair of twin brothers can be technically supplementary, that was hard to deal with, for example Brother Lopez, attacked one to defend friendly friendly, therefore was very famous in the college days, their data even compared some first ten rising stars to be better, even is once thought was the competition first three candidates, but two people separated, the data on being inferior to the college days was so bright.
However Lithuania the technical fighting method of twin brothers Lavrinovich's actually likely is in a mold carves. They will throw three points, the pitching has the fore or front sight, although their defensive strengths are ordinary, but has the good traveling speed and bounces the ability. Although this brothers are not considered as that the inside connection of European rule level, but also is very good traditional center.
On the Lithuanian team the twin brothers, to aim at open the breakthrough of crown to divide the ball, although this pair of twin brothers' resistance capability is inferior to Cav Tulkas, but the mobile capability actually must, in the joint defense system of Europe, the mobile capability compared with the physical confrontation important.
Opened the crown to steal a glance looked at Dayao, saw that Dayao has stood in shooting that in he has most excelled, next, opened the crown to start to break through.
Lithuania really once more offered a sacrifice to joint defense, but Zhang Guan once again ball biography to Dayao.
Also in this time, twin elder brother suddenly moved, his speed is quick, at least looked in the standard of center that his speed is quick. The ball passes to the Dayao hand, Dayao just about to lifts hand shooting, the twin elder brother also ran up to the near of Dayao. Shooting of Dayao was disturbed, but he then has not passed, but simply chooses the back body singles.
This ball has entered finally, but actually relies on the personal ability of Dayao to enter. Lavrinovich's physical confrontation ability is insufficient, is the traditional center, in the one-to-one situation, naturally is not the match in Dayao.
However this result is China is actually not willing to see that this was equal to returning to the zero point, the ball to pass to Dayao, then let his singles inside connection. But this fighting method is good facing the common team, facing Lithuanian team ball team, definitely is not the long-time plan, uses this fighting method, when the Dayao physical strength drops, is Chinese attack is blocked.
Coach Junasz looked around training seat on Slye Liikka, nod of slightly, his strain unusual satisfaction to own disciple.
„The sign on Slye Liikka hand are more than me! However my sign has not fired off, the victory and defeat still do not know.” Coach Junasz thinks of here, turned head to look at approximate on bench, opened the mouth saying: „Goes to the hot lower part of the body, this you went on stage! We must make the match know that China has a Dayao incessantly!”
„China requested that changes players!” Along with the voice of scene, has stepped onto the field approximately, but he changes is not United Arab Republic, but is small forward Zhu Fang yu.
„Oh” the fan has exuded whoa, they have not thought that Junasz will change such players, three inside connection props also go on stage, this has not seen in the beforehand competition.
This set of lineup, the speed is not inevitably fast, the key is to lack the flexibility, three big centers simultaneously in field, if very flexible that is strange!
„Is Junasz this must do? On simultaneously three big inside connections, did inside connection that space, how possibly hold the six giants of below both sides?”
„This set of lineup, wants speed not to have the speed, wants the flexibility not to have the flexibility, this is equal to coming up three big wooden stakes child to stand there, is useful?”
„Highest three people in field, is this must brush the rebound to play? Prepares to put together the attack backboard?”
„Cannot understand, why will unable to understand Junasz such to change players completely!”
The narrators were confused, the fans were confused, head coach Slye Liikka of Lithuanian team was also confused. In anybody opinion, on two giants have sufficed, on again third completely is unnecessary.
However on the topic bench of China, everyone one face anticipates is looking in the field.
On China this set of lineup, book completely has discarded the flexibility, they want is station pile shooting of three inside connection players, these three people have the good shooting ability, if some people stare against are not perhaps easy to score point, but if vacancy shooting, hit probability not low.
Possibly some people thought that shooting of United Arab Republic is not very accurate, but in 2008, shooting or United Arab Republic main attack method, the previous season he also has 42 shooting averages in Milwaukee Xionglu, vacancy shooting can trust.
After changing players, the competition makes a fresh start, is defending, China continuously was broken through by the Lithuanian team quickly divides the ball to disrupt the rhythm, a Kreysa small jettison relaxed score.
„This set of lineup really has issue, the flexibility of defense is insufficient, the Lithuanian team can score points with ease. We hope that three inside connections can bring pleasantly surprised to us in attack. So long as we are scoring points, does not fear the Lithuanian team score.” Illustrated expression that honored guest loses very much.
On the bench, Junasz as before is a calm expression.
On him this set of lineup, basically gave up the defense, because Junasz knows that by the team coordination and player strength of Lithuanian team, China on which set of lineup, cannot defend the Lithuanian team, this has nothing to do in the tactical plan, completely is the disparity in strength. Therefore Junasz simply bets the Lithuanian team to throw into, then grabs the rebound.
Prevents the Lithuanian team score, that is China cannot achieve, Junasz's thought is you scores points, I also score points, we play the full audience then to put together the luck, perhaps your final luck difference threw lost one, I won. This in many weak teams like the football competition exhibits turtle iron bucket, I do not score point you not to score point, kick am overtime we to compare the spot kick completely. The basketball naturally impossible entire like the soccer not to score point, therefore gives up defending to put together the score, became weak one one way of gambling luck.
But is one's turn China to launch the attack, this is also examines this set of lineup attack ability the time.
Opens the crown holding to advance half-court, but in the field the position of China makes Coach Slye Liikka frown.
„On China have three giants, all actually stood in the outwire? What is this?” Slye Liikka some are not clear, but next quarter, when keeps off to open approximately, when Zhang Guan chooses the breakthrough, he guessed correctly Junasz's intention immediately.
„It is not good!” Slye Liikka in the player to field shouts immediately: „Observes closely 14 th!”
However is too late, Zhang Guan broke through a wrist/skill pendulum, before the ball arrived at the approximate body. But at this time was responsible for defending the approximate twin younger brother to be attracted to defend to open the crown.
Moreover one side, Kreysa of Lithuanian team runs to make up immediately guards, but faces height ten centimeters shooting, if stares in nearby directly against also hopefully can defend, makes up guards almost does not have the effect.
Has not wasted this opportunity approximately, three points get rid, hollow enter the frame.
The complexion of Coach Slye Liikka is pale immediately, this is a three-pointer, compared with two points of ball of Dayao, must fatal.
Gias Hughes looked at Dayao, looks at approximate that had just scored point, on the face cannot help but reappeared to worry.
„Two giants both can shoot, as the matter stands, Zhang Guan the breakthrough was divided the ball to be also many to aid, some are not wonderful.” To be continued
